This week I am lobbying the City of St. Paul to deny the sign permit applied for by the owners of 2356 University - the Specialty building, right at the corner of Raymond and University.
They want to install a 27' long sign with LED illuminated characters on a raceway along the roofline of their building - the sign will read "North Star Mini Storage".
What do want our signage to say about our neighborhood? Do we want to scream "We have cheap space that we can't rent out as office?" We are a historic district. We are the future home the Central Corridor LRT Raymond Avenue Station. We're growing, we're cool and the next hip place to live and work. Let's give ourselves some credit and hold ourselves to a higher standard.
